In this video, we delve into how a DC motor works! For this project, we used a series-wound DC motor originally salvaged from an electric forklift. For some great ideas on different vehicles converted to electric, check out the listing at the EV Album! http://www.evalbum.com This video is one segment of an instructional video I created in 2010 from a home-


built electric car I made in 2008. Of course, battery and motor technology has advanced quickly since then, and affordable, commercially-built, Electric Vehicles are now a reality. This video series covers ONE low-tech and simple way of converting a car to electric. Many of these same ideas and techniques still apply to go-karts, motorcycles, boats, and

lots of other projects. We hope that you enjoy watching these videos and learn a little something from them. There are still a few copies of the original DVD for sale. Besides the video, the set also has a DVD-ROM with photos, web clips, and documents from the project. All profits support our work and go towards future DIY Clean Transportation and

Renewable Energy Projects. http://300mpg.org/electric-car-instru... For CURRENT electric vehicle, DIY, and renewable energy projects, please visit http://300MPG.org.
